How to connect printer using usb cable

[Walxraed]

My HP Envy 6455e just keep showing printer off-line. I can't get it to print through wireless connection. I am exhausted and want to be able to use the printer by connecting a usb cable. Has anyone tried this and succeeded?

• Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and the other end to your computer.

Install the USB Printer Driver:

• Once connected, your computer should automatically detect the printer and attempt to install the driver.
• If the driver does not install automatically, run the driver installer you downloaded from the HP Support page.

Set Up the Printer:

• Follow the on-screen prompts in the driver installer to complete the setup.
